Save Our Summers Kentucky is a grass roots statewide
coalition of parents, students, and educators concerned about the
impact of early to mid-August start dates on our students, families,
schools and communities. |
|
Over the
last decade, Kentucky schools have moved the start of school
earlier each year. In fact, some have adopted a year-round
calendar. Because of the increasing pressure on schools to
show improvement on the CATS Test, school districts in
Kentucky have moved their start dates earlier in August each
year in order to increase the number of instructional days
prior to the CATS test. Neighboring districts afraid to be
outperformed, have followed suit. This has resulted in
our summers being cut shorter and shorter each year.
